  • A Study on Debit Cards
    Dr. Yellaswamy Ambati, International Journal of Research in Management, Economics and Commerce, ISSN 2250-057X, Impact Factor: 6.384, Volume 08 Issue 02, February 2018, Page 248-253 A Study on Debit Cards Dr. Yellaswamy Ambati (Lecturer in Commerce, TS Model Junior College, Jangaon, Warangal, Telangana State, India) Abstract: A Debit Card is a plastic payment card that can be used instead of cash when making purchases. It is also known as a bank card or check card. It is similar to a credit card, but unlike a credit card, the money comes directly from the user's bank account when performing a transaction. Some cards may carry a stored value with which a payment is made, while most relay a message to the cardholder's bank to withdraw funds from a payer's designated bank account. In some cases, the primary account number is assigned exclusively for use on the Internet and there is no physical card. In many countries, the use of debit cards has become so widespread that their volume has overtaken or entirely replaced cheques and, in some instances, cash transactions. The development of debit cards, unlike credit cards and charge cards, has generally been country specific resulting in a number of different systems around the world, which were often incompatible. Since the mid-2000s, a number of initiatives have allowed debit cards issued in one country to be used in other countries and allowed their use for internet and phone purchases. Keywords: Debit Card, Credit Card, ATM, Bank, Master Card I. INTRODUCTION Debit cards are a great way to get more financial freedom without the risk of falling into debt.
